Could do with few more tweeks.. Start from last cheek point/ level/upgrade point would be a great addition to keep people interested . And some way on the scoring being abit more better or like a research bit on combos /subtle hints so you know a game has a chance of getting half a decent rating.. Something decent needs to be added/done **Developer response:** Thank you for feedback. I will think what can I do for this. Thank you ### 4/5 — A *2026-01-16* The game is decent I guess but it is very hard to scroll on literally every part of the game. It thinks I’m trying to click on stuff and won’t let me scroll either to the bottom of the page or to pick a genre. Also when the game of the year pops up there is no way to close out of it forcing me to swipe out of the app **Developer response:** Hello I fixed this issues with 1.2.0. If you have any question please send mail. infoakworldgames@gmail.com ### 4/5 — Feeling lost *2026-01-07* Hi! I love your game, been playing it almost non stop for the last 4 days or so. I’ve started over a few times and have gotten to about 20-30 years. But I am getting confused and frustrated at times. When my games perform poorly is it just RNG or is there an actual algorithm? Some pair ups seem to perform really well, then when I try them again after a while, they do terrible. I get reviews like this “poor execution” or “missed opportunity” or “needs more polish” but my employees are maxed out and I don’t see any other avenue for me to control any part of the process. It might also be helpful to add short descriptions to the Genres, personally I had no idea what isometric was and the pictures aren’t always super clear. Also when you spin the wheel to get a new theme or genre, it always puts the balance of your credits before spinning as the “cost” once your result is shown, maybe a bug? Is there an avenue to train your marketing & development employee specific skills? I see I can upgrade the standard development skills, do these help during development process? Sorry to ramble on, I’m enjoying your game and interested in continuing to advance and improve. As a budding developer myself this is a lot of fun. **Developer response:** Hi, your feedback is great. I left a very brief tip in the guidelines, but I didn't go into detail, sorry. It's like this: if you create a game category, you should create 5 or 6 different games with different themes and genres. There's actually an algorithm in the game; it's not random. I'll add this information somewhere. Thank you for feedback thanks to playing my game ### 4/5 — One Issue *2025-12-21* Im enjoying the game but i cant scroll to view new genres or themes so im stuck with the original 5 unless the new one fits alphabetically. Please help **Developer response:** Oh I am sorry. Please send mail to me infoakworldgames@gmail.com ### 4/5 — Encountered a bug *2025-10-15* So there’s a bug with the UI when going to research new genres. It won’t let me I guess spin the wheel. Like I can’t scroll down to spin it **Developer response:** Thank you for feedback. There is a button for spin. can you send me screenshoot? infoakworldgames@gmail.com ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Injouable *2026-05-28* Dès qu’on entre dans le jeu y’a marqué game Tycoon et impossible d’aller plus loin. **Developer response:** Can you send an email so I can solve the problem? infoakworldgames@gmail.com ### 1/5 — Very annoying notifications *2026-05-17* Buy GDT or remove ads in this game? The price is the same, but in the second case they’ll still squeeze money out of you anyway and constantly pester you to leave a high rating. **Developer response:** I'm sorry about that. I need to make money somehow, playing my game is completely free. It's right to remove ads for a fee. But there is no structure in my game that constantly asks for money. This is completely left to you. If you click on rate 1 time, it won't ask again, by the way, but I don't think you're always asking for the rate, I'll check anyway. If you have any feedback or questions, send an e-mail to infoakworldgames@gmail.com and I will solve such problems. ### 1/5 — Wtf *2025-12-03* Had 3 attempts 1st game always does okay due to the way you made it and then boom your in debt after the next 3 how is this even possible **Developer response:** I designed the game to be very difficult, but since everyone found it challenging, I added an easy mode to the game starting with version 1.1.0. You can download and try it. ### 2/5 — Could of been better *2025-11-28* This is a great game but you are just repeating the same thing over and over and over again. Also when you create a game it always gets like a 38/100. It is just not fair if you don’t have money you just survive like 3 years then you go bankrupt. **Developer response:** I designed the game to be very difficult, but since everyone found it challenging, I added an easy mode to the game starting with version 1.1.0. You can download and try it. ### 3/5 — Good concept but too difficult *2026-02-26* It's a good concept but I find the game too hard, even on easy mode. No matter how much I research or train my employees, my games always end up with low reviews, even on the best console. I don't really understand how else to get better reviews. **Developer response:** Hello. I wrote to guidelines. If you have any question please send mail infoakworldgames@gmail.com ### 3/5 — Dificuldades *2026-02-14* -difícil adquirir pontos de pesquisa; -difícil estudar as combinações, não há uma mecânica pra saber as combinações positivas; -mesmo com a melhor equipe as avaliações não passam de 75 **Developer response:** I will add new feature for combinations. Thank you for feedback ### 3/5 — Interesting but long winded. *2026-01-02* I have only been playing for a few days but the progression is just really slow. **Developer response:** I left the game open-ended so people could figure it out for themselves. You might progress more slowly on your first attempts. As you understand and solve it, you'll see that you make faster progress. Thank you for your feedback. ### 3/5 — Difficulté du jeu *2025-11-22* Le jeux et bien mais il est trop dure je n’ai jamais dépassé les 10 millions sur le jeux , et sa serait super si il était en français **Developer response:** I designed the game to be very difficult, but since everyone found it challenging, I added an easy mode to the game starting and 7 language supports(include franch) with version 1.1.0. You can download and try it. ### 4/5 — Jogo bom *2026-04-13* Falta algumas coisas como pegar informações de quais temas combinados já deram certo e também as avaliações estão muito dificilmente **Developer response:** Hello if you find good combination. You can see on history games. Thank you for feedback ### 4/5 — Bien *2026-03-29* Bien **Developer response:** Thank you for you support ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — not so good *2026-05-19* fix things employe salary and expenses are exteremely high **Developer response:** I will check it thank you for feedback if you have any suggestions please send mail infoakworldgames@gmail.com ### 5/5 — 面白い *2026-04-07* 課金もさせていただきました結構僕にブッ刺さる内容で面白いです **Developer response:** Thank you for support and feedback ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-03-30* Nice game **Developer response:** Thank you for you support ### 5/5 — I luv the game *2026-01-20* I luv the design of the game and the process **Developer response:** Thank you for feedback. And thank you playing my game ### 5/5 — Best but fixes some things *2026-01-20* Good fix some things like the marketing section and game review section **Developer response:** Hello can you give me more detail please? infoakworldgames@gmail.com ### 5/5 — Loving the game. *2025-12-22* It’s a very enjoyable game at the moment, definitely worth playing. **Developer response:** Really thank you playing my game and thank for your feedback :) ### 5/5 — Pay to win *2025-11-22* Impossible de jouer sans payer **Developer response:** I designed the game to be very difficult, but since everyone found it challenging, I added an easy mode to the game starting with version 1.1.0. You can download and try it. ### 4/5 — Definitely a game with potential *2026-01-31* It’s a good game with a lot to it and it can be fun but it’s just annoying because I can’t get a single good review on all the games I make for some reason they are all just low even though I have 5 star employees with nearly maxed out skill. I hope the developer reply’s to this because I’d like to know if it’s just me or if it’s a bug. I wrote this review nearly 2 weeks ago but I’ve since then found I’m getting more consistent and better ratings but there still could be things that can be improved and one of the main things for me is the amount of research points you get per project I don’t feel it’s enough and it takes hours of playing just to unlock like 6 genres and 6 themes but apart from that it’s a great game and lots of fun with massive potential **Developer response:** Reviews depend on a lot. Especially the console where you released the game should be the best console on the market(because of quality). Don't develop the same genre or theme over and over again. Choose at least 5 6 different theme types. And I will check research points. If you want more details, you can send an e-mail. Or you can send your thoughts about it. infoakworldgames@gmail.com --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
